Reception

Audience response

Upon the release of the full video version of the song, it gained lots of appreciation for its music and choreography.

Critical reviews

Bollywood Hungama on reviewing the music of the soundtrack wrote that "There is a signature Housefull feel to the manner in which 'Ek Chumma' kick-starts the proceedings for Housefull 4. When it comes to the franchise, the music is expected to be peppy, lively and catering to the masses. This is what is the case with this Sameer Anjaan written number as well which has composer Sohail Sen also come behind the mike along with Altamash Faridi and Jyotica Tangri."[10]

The Times of India stated that "Ek Chumma', has the clichéd ‘been there, heard that’ soundscape with a generous use of mandolin, clarinet, violin and percussions. Sung by Sohail Sen, Altamash Faridi and Jyotica Tangri, this track has been penned by Sameer Anjaan and the creators have succeeded in making it sound rather pedestrian."[11]
